You could see the comic antics of Jerry Lewis and the
physical comedy and body language translate into the CLO presentation as Jerry
Lewis and Tony Curtis roles are recreated by Connor McCanlus (Robert) and Tony
Bingham (Bernard.)

Bernard Lawrence (Tony
Bingham) is a philandering three timing American journalist stationed in Paris,
France. A serious womanizer, he has invented a devious system for juggling
three different girlfriends: by dating stewardesses who are assigned to
international routes on non-intersecting flight schedules. For some time only one woman has been in the
country at any given time! Bernard's romanced are run by a timetable of their
landings and departures.

Much of the real comedy is developed
by the machinations his long-suffering, straight laced housekeeper Bertha
(Elizabeth Ruelas). She swaps the appropriate photos and food in and out of the
apartment to match the incoming girlfriend—none of the ladies is aware of each
other's presence in the apartment. They regard Lawrence's flat as their
"home" during their Paris layovers.

But for those like Bernard operating
on the edge of morality, all good things must come to an end. His foolproof agenda is interrupted when his
girlfriends' airlines begin using the Boeing aircraft. These faster flights
change all of the existing route schedules and allow the stewardesses to spend
more time in Paris. Without warning his three girlfriends will now all be in
Paris at the same time. Fair warning at that time and now that it's important
to pay attention to the news. Although
with a profession and three fiancés the audience is left to wonder how he had
much time for anything especially the news.

Robert Reed (Connor), a fellow
journalist and an old acquaintance, arrives in town and is unable to find a
hotel room. He insists on

staying in Bernard's apartment for a few days. When
he sees Bernard's living situation, he clumsily begins to take over Bernard's
apartment, causing even more chaos.

The comedy except
for Berthe's adept one liners is slow until the arrival of Gretchen, the German
stewardess played by Lisa Ann Goldsmith.
Her lusty, brash German antics seem to challenge all other players to
come up to her level of both slapstick and verbal comedy. But the broad antics that characterized
1950's comedy reins throughout Boeing, Boeing.

Director Van Kaplan
managed to get perfect humorous timing, great body language, facial expression
and sheer audience delight out of his actors.

The on stage comings
and goings remind one of Feydaux's plays which ruled the Theater of the Absurd.

Boeing Boeing has an
extended run at the Cabaret Theater through May 10, 2015. The two gentlemen at my table, my companion
and another's husband laughed so hard they had streaming tears. The wife and I were given to unmitigated belly
laughs. So if mom loves to laugh this
would be a great mother's day outing. It
might also be a cautionary tale to individuals who juggle women or men.
